In glaucoma participants, both structural and functional brain changes have been observed, but we still have insufficient understanding of how these changes also affect the integrity of cortical functional networks, and how these changes relate to visual function. This is relevant, as functional network integrity may affect the applicability of fut...

Recent brain imaging studies have shown that the degenerative eye damage generally observed in the clinical setting, also extends intracranially. Both structural and functional brain changes have been observed in glaucoma participants, but we still lack an understanding of whether these changes also affect the integrity of cortical functional netwo...

Perimetry---assessment of visual field defects (VFD)---requires patients to be able to maintain a prolonged stable fixation, as well as to provide feedback through motor response. These aspects limit the testable population and often lead to inaccurate results. We hypothesized that different VFD would alter the eye-movements in systematic ways, thu...
